Stockport produced some festival rugby for the spectators in the annual Koenan-Middleton Trophy fixture with Wilmslow.

The Wilmslow team, without several first-choice players, made a good start with two early tries and a conversion to go into a 12-point lead.

However, Stockport soon began to dominate and scored three tries and a conversion before half-time and seven after the break with four conversions.

Despite this not being their full team, Wilmslow were given a clear message about what life in north two west will be like next year.

They made a good start and following a drive from a line-out, the impressive Sean Stirrup at scrum-half went over to scored an unconverted try.

The Wilmslow outside-half, Ross Hunter, also impressed and it was his kick which set up a line-out which led to try number two and a 12-points lead.

The Stockport pack then began to dominate and when full-back Andy Wrathall came into the line, he broke two tackles and passed for Graeme Smith to score a try which Louis Marx converted from the touchline.

Tony Amos then intercepted a Wilmslow pass in his own 22 and from the ensuing scrum, Matt Brundrett scored the first of his three tries.

Stockport were now level and never looked back with Mike Raven giving an overhead pass for Smith to get his second try to make it 17-12 at half-time.

After the break, tries came from skipper Simon Drew, Chris Weeks, and Nik Royle, with Marx converting two of these to make it 36-12.

Drew hacked a loose ball up to halfway and from the scrum a strong run by Dave Holehouse allowed Andy Wrathall to put Brundrett clear for his second try. Wrathall then got one himself after good work by Holehouse and Steve Williams.

From the kick off, Raven made a good break to set up Brundrett's third try via the hands of Holehouse and Smith.

Louis Marx converted from the touchline before running 30 metres to score under the posts himself and complete the scoring at 60-12 with his fifth conversion.
